Well hey there Mr Tim,
Nice change of pace! I do like all of these but think that 3 and 4 are a little stronger images with 4 being all around blue ribbon winner
Really like the comps on these and the detail that you captured

Way to go Tim!
Love it when you leave the 800 down for a few minutes and take up another lens in your arsenal
Looks like you had to deal with low light, low ss, high ISO and flash and did a great job too.
1 This guys outfit is getting a bit ragged but the nice colors from the flowers in that one and # 2 draw the eye down to the important parts.
3 and 4 are in much better shape and the last one is my favourite of the set for the comp, the way the BF is more vertical and sitting just at the joint of the stem with the leaf and the stem showing the way out of the pic to the BF.
But don't get me wrong, love those 800 shots too

Mighty fine way to spend a day. That first guy has some ragged looking wings but it does make for an interesting shot. Makes me long even more for spring time! Thanks for that little bit of optimism...now if only that groundhog agrees I will be stoked.

Great set here -they're all great. I particulary like the last one. It's just a great shot and the love the butterfly's posture and the comp. Looks like you were just as in sync with this lens as your 800. Nice.
